They can also be used to show the difference between two sets of clothes made for the same activity with the "Sports" version being optimised for performance and the "Exercise" concentrating on comfort and support.

 

My own sport is road cycling - I have some clothes that are "team kit" which I will wear when out on a race or timed ride; it is super light, very tight, and slippery - but it isn't all that comfortable. Whereas my normal daily clothes for cycling are warmer, more padded, more "forgiving" materials, and easier on the unmentionables.
